Hi, I am working on a GIS software based on uDIG 1.2 and I have several questions.
I need to implement a MapInfo TAB reader since we have a lot of files in that format. I set up the following plan: 0. Use GDAL/OGR Java bindings to read the data. 1. Implement the TAB reader as a GeoTools Data plugin (implementing org.geotools.data.FeatureReader etc.) Maybe I will port the unsupported module from GT 2.4 or implement it form scratch, it is not decided yet. 2. Create a uDIG plugin, implementing a catalog service. The following questions arose: 1. I want to try out the new optimized renderer in GT 2.7-SNAPSHOT (I have files with several hundred megabytes and maybe hundreds of thousands of features). How to integrate GT 2.7-SNAPSHOT into uDIG 1.2? Simply replace the jars in net.refractions.udig.libs? 2. How do I add GDAL Java bindings as a dependency to my GeoTools module? Can I use GDAL 1.6 binaries downloaded from http://vbkto.dyndns.org/sdk? I noticed that GDAL Java bindings are a great PITA since the API is not backwards compatible between versions (eg. ogr.Open(String) vs. ogr.Open(String,int). Is there any API docs for correctly using GDAL Java bindings?
